On 23 June, Burmese democracy activists staged a protest
in front of
the Swedish Parliament in cooperation with members of the
Sweden-Burma
Committee.
The protest was also joined by students from Stockholm University.
In
parallel to the protest, the Sweden-Burma Committee held a
meeting at
the Swedish Foreign Ministry to discuss the unconditional
release of Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi, a possible resolution of the UN Security
Council on
Burma, and EU sanctions on all business connected with the
SPDC.
The Foreign Ministry agreed on the demands made and assured
the
Committee that it would take them forward in discussion in
the EU.
Burmese democracy activists across the world have staged protest
to
pressure the military regime to release of Daw Aung San Suu
Kyi and NLD
leaders unconditionally. Sweden is taking action to put pressure
on the
regime for the immediate release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and
her party
members. |
